Warlords are the by-product of the desegregation of the state. They are its cause and consequence. They fight each other and they rob their populations. Then some of them take power: new regimes, nouveaux riches. Thus, the international organisations take a chance to engage the "peace-process". They all have the same goal: get rich, get power and richer. “Peace is good for the country” as they are promised some "development" opportunities: loans and credits. Warlords get more money from the World Bank than from their own starving population.

 

To go to Kassala you need a travel permit. “Where can I get it? –I don’t know, before it was in the military intelligence, but now…?” Now it is in the ministry of the Humanitarian affairs.
